The supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system supplements
the restraint of the driver and the passenger seat belts. The SIR system deploys
an air bag from the following locations during an accident:
• | The center of the steering wheel |
• | Above the glove compartment |
The air bags deploy when the vehicle is involved in a front end collision
of sufficient force. In order to further absorb the energy of an accident,
a knee bolster is located beneath the instrument panel in the following locations:
